Beta 3 Refresh will coincide with the production release of VS 2005. That's slated for Nov. 7. I would encourage you to consider installing beta 3, at least in a test environment.

While I am not aware of any other planned releases between beta 3 refresh and v1, I do not know for sure.

Buck, When will do you expect beta 3 refresh to be available?

I don't think that I want to bother installing anything until the VS2005 Team Suite and SQL Server 2005 releases are out.

Also: Do you expect any more versions of TFS bwtween beta refresh and the v1 release?

MDeevi, according to Rick LaPlante, they are still finalizing the details of the go-live license.

I would guess that there would also be information at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/teamsystem/ when it is ready.

Hi,

As you mentioned in the Blog that Team Foundation Server Beta3 can go for GoLive License, we want to know how we can go for this?

Thanks
MDeevi.

Josh, fortunately the installation has gotten much better for beta 3. Be sure to follow the beta 3 installation guide (http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/09/23/473410.aspx) and read the the Known Issues and README (http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/09/23/473482.aspx).

Rob Caron's blog is a good source of updated information.

Buck, I'm kind-of tired of having to experiment so much just to get TFS installed, so I'd love to know the scoop (and better yet, I'd love to read it in the readme):

which SQL Server CTP do I need to get TFS Beta3 working? better yet, which one do you guys use to get it working?

does Beta3 rely on the dotnetfx installed with SQLServer, or does it need some other version?

Thx, Josh

Mueno, there is no migration from beta 2 to beta 3. It's one of the reasons that there was no "go-live" license with beta 2. Now that beta 3 does have a go-live license, you will be able to migrate from beta 3 to the final release of v1.

To move from beta 2, you'll need to add the latest version of your source code to a beta 3 installation. If you need to move work items, you can get most of it by exporting the work items into Excel and importing from Excel into beta 3. You will need to manually move the Repro Steps and Description fields, as they don't show up in Excel.

Are there migration instructions to go from TFS Beta 2 to Beta 3? Our SW engineers have already started some VS2005 projects on our Beta 2 server.
